Rowley Jefferson's Awesome Friendly Adventure is a 2020 children's novel written by American author Jeff Kinney and is the second book in the Rowley Jefferson series following Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid. The book follows the same structure of the previous book, switching between the main fantasy story and Rowley's commentary on the book's progress.
Plot[edit]
The book starts with a chapter of Rowley's book. The main characters in the book are Roland and Garg the Barbarian, with their real life counterparts being Rowley and Greg respectively. One day it was snowing outside, Rowley went to find his mum, but she was not there, Roland's neighbor Mrs. Nettles said that his mum was kidnapped by the White Warlock, so Roland and Garg went to save his mum.[1]
After the chapter finishes, Rowley gave his mum to look at it, his mum said she was impressed, but Greg said there is tons of mistakes that needs to be fixed.
In chapter 2 of the book, after the bought the map, Greg thought this could make them a lot of money by making action figures and other toys. Following that, they are ready to out, then they stumbled upon a village, which made them do chores. Greg was mad about this chapter, said they were suckers doing chores for others, and that they should include some monsters too. So Rowley went with his idea. Once they left the Village, they found a colony of pixies who gave Garg a club, but they want to give Roland a sword but it is lodged in a stone, only people with a pure heart can pull it out, Garg tried, but it wasn't budging, Roland pulled it out, just like that. This scene is very like the story of Excalibur, is a element in the Matter of Britain.[2] They encountered some trolls and they made the pixies promise not to dump any trash downhill to the trolls.
They passed a cave in the Razor Range, They found statues of various people and characters from books. Thor, Minotaur, Huckleberry Finn, Cowardly Lion, Sherlock Holmes, and Garg were all turned into stone by Medusa. Rowley found a One-Eyed Witch and turned all the statues to normal, so they added them to the mission. They encountered ogres, eagles, leeches, and dwarves afterwards.[3] They thought maybe the could sleep in an abandoned castle nearby, but the found a vampire, Christoph, in the castle's watchtower. Now, since Christoph joined the group, they can't travel in the sun or the light.
In the morning, Roland found his map missing, after they discovered it's Shae'Vana, an elf that joined in the Razor Range. The Ghost of Bampy, which is Rowley's grandpa, helped them out of the corn maze. Lefty, a big hand summoned by the One-Eyed Witch, helped them over the lava river, but was sunken by a lava geyser. Roland met a mermaid that gave them narwhals to go down the river to find the Ice Fortress.
Roland finds the entrance to the Ice Fortress, and found that the One-Eyed witch hypnotized Mrs. Nettles, and Roland mum wasn't missing. The White Warlock was Santa. Rowland used the power of his sword to turn The one-Eyed Wizard to a nice person again. And Roland was knighted as Roland the Kind. Shae-Vana and Christoph go on a vacation together, whilst Roland, Garg, The One-Eyed Wizard, Roland's Mom and Santa fly back home on his sleigh and enjoy Christmas ending Rowley's book.
After he finishes his book, he saw Greg couldn't care less of his story as he'd fallen asleep. He leaves Greg's house and he presents the book to his parents, having it read to him before going to sleep.
